That's stupid. It's not a console where settings are locked down. Sure, you probably can't run a new AAA high fidelity game at 1080p, nor could you run it at native at max settings. There are tons of games out there, new and old, that it can easily run at 1080p, especially if you tweek settings. You can always choose to render at a lower resolution than native too if you want.

1080p would also be great for streaming from a desktop.
